Maurice/Parkies
 

Hi all out there with Parkinson's,
Iwas diagnosed with Parkies 2 years ago and have been on Requip as it's know out here in Africa, which worked well for 6 monhs but there aftr the results were to say the least dubious.
It was quite a shock even at the age age of 63, as I had been active all my life, having sailed round the world with my wife, run 100k ultra marathon etc.

I have recently been advised by my Neuro to go onto Azilect (which is not yet approved here in South Africa) but have found by surfing the net it has some alarming side affects.

Not least of which is stopping one having an orgasm! At our age it's one of the few joys left so as it's been available to you in the sates I was wondering if any of you have had this problem.
